Look no farther than Bow Wow’s Top 5 Dead or Alive.

The Notorious B.I. G




“When you mention Hip-Hop you think of Big. For a guy to have only two albums and be put at the place he is should only be looked at as amazing. He is undeniable, especially as a lyricist.”

Big L



“He’s just a dope lyricist. He is someone that I have just always respected as an MC. He’s someone I feel gets looked over or overshadowed. He is one of New York’s finest.”

LL Cool J



“He is my idol. Just period. I see a lot of similarities between his career and my career. We both have a strong female fan base. He’s still here. I’m still here. He does movies. I do movies. He got ridiculed a lot for doing girl records but then he came hard when he dropped “I’m Bad.” I feel like “Fresh Azimiz” is my “I’m Bad.”

Tupac


"--

What a lot of people don’t understand is I grew up in HipHop. I feel like I’m the son or the baby brother of HipHop. I feel like that because I got into the game so early. I was young and around Death Row. People talk about Tupac…I was around Pac back in the day. When he was doing the Me Against the World album I actually witnessed him in the booth. I like him for his realness. You can feel his passion in the music. He was motivated and he truly cared about the world.”

Special Ed



“He’s always been one of my favorites because of his lyrical ability and the way he put words together. I redid his “I Got It Made” for a mixtape. I have always had a female fan base so I like him because he had that but was still respected as a lyricist. He gained respect but was also a dope lyricist.”
